Ashwin got 4 wickets against Australia in the Indore Test and due to this he lost some points in the rankings.
As much as the tough competition is going on in the Test series between India and Australia, the tough competition is also going on in the ICC Test bowling rankings. The only difference is that the competition here is between the two heavyweights of India and England, who are on equal footing this time after outdoing each other recently and are in first place.

India’s top off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and England fast bowler James Anderson have become joint number one Test bowlers in the latest ICC rankings released a day before the fourth Test starting on Thursday in Ahmedabad. (BCCI)
Ashwin had secured the first position in the previous rankings. However, Ashwin lost six points after taking 4 wickets in the Indore Test. Ashwin now has 859 points, the same as Anderson, and is jointly on top. (PTI)
Ashwin has a chance to overtake Anderson again before the new rankings are released next week. With a strong performance in the fourth Test match between India and Australia from Thursday, March 9, not only would Team India want to win, but would also like to wear the number one crown alone. (BCCI)
By the way, the competition to become the number one Test bowler in the world has become tough as South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada is also trying hard. Rabada, who took eight wickets in the first Test match against the West Indies, has climbed three places to reach the fourth position. He has 807 marks. He is behind Australian captain Pat Cummins, who has 849 points. Cummins could not play in the third test and will not play in the fourth test as well. (AFP)
